1st and only time, before either of our parents were born. Spurs level of success is more in line with Leicester, although recently the Championship club have been far more successful
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are only 5 clubs in English football that have won more than Spurs and City and Chelsea have only been recent and courtesy of lottery wins.

People chat Schitt about us and trophies, I saw a Sheff U fan mocking us online last week even though it’s been 99 years since they won a trophy - bizarre.

Only 3 clubs in England with more Euro trophies and again Chelsea is only recent and courtesy of a lottery win. Gooners always seem to forget that all they’ve ever achieved in Europe is 1 Cup winners cup, even West Ham have won more than that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wrong - we've won 2 euro cups 1970 and 1994.

Also yes you may be top 6 for trophies won but you are miles behind Liverpool, Man u and Arsenal. I mean 2 league championships in your entire history and not even an FA Cup since 91 is shocking for a club of your size and support.

To those asking what I meant by 'definitive' I guess it's up to the individual. Personally I'm quite enjoying everyone's memories etc.

I guess for me it was which game kind of encapsulates everything great about the NLD. If you had to show someone one match to demonstrate that fixture, which would you choose. That kind of thing.

2-2, March 2016

Kane's goal and celebration one of the most iconic moments in the fixture's history.

But also a great game overall, both teams coming from behind at one point, coquelin red card, Dier lucky to not get the same near the end of the gams, both teams in something of a title race too being 3 points and 6 points behind Leicester.

That was the game we actually bottled the title that season tbf. Sanchez's goal with a man up and the momentum where Lloris let in a shocker winds me up every time I watch it.

My personal favourite was the 2-0 penultimate WHL game in 2017 - where Arsenal were beyond pathetic. I'd never seen a team put up less of a fight in a NLD fixture (until that Nuno loss).

5-1 was also awesome.

In terms of losses the 3-0 in 2009? stands out where Fabregas's goal wasn't even fully shown live.

The second 5-2 was pathetic as well.

yeah it's a difficult one to look at objectively because it was so annoying - we were the much better team in the second half (obviously aided by the man advantage) and it's typical of Hugo to have a moment like that in a game we should be easily seeing out. would have gone top for a few hours at least

but ignoring my personal feelings for that game it was very NLDish

The faaaack you have, no serious club includes the Fairs cup, the Intertoto has more prestige. 1991 is your European lot, accept it

We’ve always been naff in the league and used to be very good in the cups. It’s Levy who brought the drought - these days we look down on the cups for some very strange reason even though we never win them anymore.

Arsenal though are miles behind Liverpool and Man United as well don’t forget. It’s Liverpool and United at the top, huge gap to Arsenal, much smaller gap to City and Chelsea these days (depending on how legitimate you view their trophy haul) and then a sizeable gap to Spurs, Villa and Everton.

The banter Spurs get from clubs outside the top 6 though is just baffling other than maybe Leicester. For instance Newcastle, supposedly a huge club but only Sandy was alive the last time they won anything

The Arsenal 6-0 thrashing of Spurs at the old White Elephant Lane in 1935 was a bad day for Sandy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Agreed, still boils my piissss as well when I think about it. It’s exactly like type of thing that prevented us getting over the line under Poch. It’s not that we weren’t good enough, but there were individuals who didn’t have the mentality to hold it together at the most crucial times. Lloris here is an example, Battle of the Bridge is another when we were 0-2 up.

Arsenal always get off the hook for that 2016 season though. They were top at Xmas that season, there are only a handful of occasions where a team top at Xmas has failed to win the league. We were never actually top at any point, we just got closer to Leicester in the run in by virtue of taking over Arsenal who actually bottled it more than we did.

Like when we bottled the league a year or two later by only winning 11 of our last 12 games but finishing 6 or 7 points behind Chelsea. The narrative always gets distorted for us, yet who mentions Arsenal bottling it last year? None of the pundits do.

Made me laugh seeing Keown trying the Spurs had the night off jive midweek when the Gooners had finally got back in the CL after the best part of a decade.

Anyway, I’m going early with my prediction this weekend 1-1

Exactly. That was the following season. Chelsea had no Europe and took 30 points from 30 over the autumn while everyone else was toiling in Europe, giving them an unassailable lead.

Nonetheless, we then accrued more points than anyone from Xmas, beat them 2-0, won 11 of our last 12 games, went unbeaten at home all season, scored the most goals, conceded the fewest and finished on 86 points. But we bottled it apparently.

Our runners up was statistically superior to Arsenals runners up last season in every way, and they actually did massively bottle it having led the league all season and losing those games to fodder in the run in the way they did. Plus City (we beat our title rivals Chelsea in the run in). But no such accusations thrown their way. But their fans will still have you believe the media has it in for them.

The man is a pathetic sniveling gooner simp and a strategically shaved baboon put into human clothes and thrown into a studio. It’s always satisfying hearing a realist like Jordan tearing him a new arrsehole. Keown sympathising with Klopps moaning about the early fixture last weekend was hilarious. “Its terrible, these guys will have to have their pre match meal at 8.30am…” and what? I thought he was gonna cry at one point. They’re professional athletes paid millions and millions a year to do this sheite. Facking get on with it you bunch of girls. Honestly, he needs a good slapping.

This here from today is actually a great example and case in point of my post above. Jordan gives an excellent and accurate explanation of the ownership of THFC as they discuss Levy’s Q&A which drowns out Keowns gooner attempts at denigrating us.

With Keown, a bit like Merson, you do wonder if they took one too many knocks to the head in their playing days. I’m not just anti Arsenal, I like Ian Wright a lot and Lee Dixon is average - Merson is a dribbling mess, a complete simpleton and Keown is the Arsenal version of Maf.

Like is said, Newcastle, how many points clear were they, was it 14? Two FA cup finals and a League cup final - no one gives them the bottler tag, They haven’t won a trophy since Sandy first started courting

Rachel Riley some Essex tart who pretends she’s upmarket because she went to Oxford and is a plastic Man U fan. What the fack does she know about football. If I wanted her opinion it’d be when my accounts needed doing.

Almost always a great game. From the mid noughties, characterised by both teams being mentally fragile, good at attacking and bad at defending. What's not to like for the neutral?

Best representation of this was probably the 4-4 in 2008, I think it was, or the 3-3 in 2011. Arsenal's 3-2 loss at the Emirates, to my eternal shame, was probably a good game too. I've banished it from my memory, save a few details, so I couldn't tell you.

The 5-2 in 2012 will always be my favourite from this period though. Probably a bit harsh of a scoreline, arsenal deserved to win the game, but not by that much.

This game has seen some absolute worldies from both sides too. Adebayors volley in 2007, fabregas' strike in the same game, Bentley's goal from the halfway line, Danny rose, Kyle walker, robin van persie. Lots of penalties from Harry Kane too.

The 3-1 at highbury in 97 i think when Wright crossed it for Bergkamp who scored a cracker in the torrential rain under the lights
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And Adams volley. Spurs goal was a Stewy Taylor og after Sinton hit the post and it bounced off Taylors bonce and into the net wasn't it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The days when Arsenal were known for boring 0-0, makes you wonder how they scored 3 that day??
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Known for boring 1-0 wins. Arsenal, unlike Spurs, have a history of winning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
how then have Spurs become the first English side to do the double?

hmm, by not winning ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hate to burst your bubble but Preston North End were the 1st English team to do the double in 1889.
The reason Spurs play in white tops and blue shirts is as a mark of respect for that achievement

Harry Kane cored a hat trick for Bayern yesterday.
He's got 7 goals in 5 appearances now.
Bayern are probably pretty happy with what they paid for!
We sure could use him tomorrow against the Arsenholes!
